I got talked into participating in the Baltimore Modern Quilt Guild's first round robin (I admit it did not take _too_ much talking:). I have been in a number of round robins over the years of several different kinds. This one is a border round robin ... the central block above was the one I drew (random lots).
This is the first round and the assignment was to add a 2" wide or so border made with squares and/or rectangles. :) I pretty much stuck to the three original colors Lainey had used - blue-green, lime-green and gray for my border (2" squares all around).
The reason I was reluctant to join in originally is that I am concerned that I might get too busy with my store and not get the round done in time. So ... give it a priority. :) Just have to sew quickly. :)
I put one of my red and white blocks in for my center/beginning. Another red and white piece should come back to me in four? six? months. Maybe I can work this red and white fixation into a big bed quilt! LOL
Things are kinda crazy at the shop and I still have two more class samples to make. Tomorrow is the beginning of our new Saturday Sampler program and Sunday afternoon I am supposed to teach a Make&Take class of students how to sew Cathedral Windows and Secret Garden blocks. :) Gotta make their kits tomorrow!
Monday evening I'm teaching the first winter round of my Stripper's Quilt Along class - but those blocks are already done. (whew!)
Oh, and my husband is still fiddling with my new-to-me office computer so I can't do much of anything with it as of yet. :P Hope he gets that finished tomorrow!
Busy, busy. I'm either too busy or too bored. My life never seems to move along an even keel. :)
